It increases the magnification of the microscope 4X. Since the eyepiece already has 10X, looking through scan you will be seeing an image magnified 40X

The scanning objective is used to quickly locate and focus on the specimen before switching to higher magnification objectives for detailed imaging. It typically has a low magnification (4x-10x) and a wide field of view to facilitate navigation and initial observations of the sample.
